UKESM1-forced BORIS-1 seafloor biomass under CMIP6 SSPs

Annual mean seafloor biomass for periods 1980 to 2014 (Historical) and 2015 to 2100 (Future) for Shared Socioeconomic Pathways SSP126 to SSP585. Simulations use the benthic BORIS model (Kelly-Gerreyn et al., Biogeosciences, 2014) forced using output from the UKESM1 model (Sellar et al., JAMES, 2019; Yool et al., GMD, 2021) in the same experimental design used in Yool et al. (GCB, 2017). Simulations use Matlab v2020a. Each file contains seafloor detritus, total seafloor biomass and seafloor biomass for each of BORIS-1's 16 size classes.
